Asked whether Wortham's death provides a boost for the city's battle for what he calls "commonsense gun laws," the mayor said: "Oh, I hope so. . . . Here's a young man [who] served twice in Iraq. Father's a police officer, an unbelievable police officer. You better believe it. It does add [momentum], and it should. It should wake up America."

Let's just point out that even with the handgun ban in effect, Chicago's murder rate has remained higher than the national average for years and is climbing again.

And it would be pretty safe to assume that the gun that killed Officer Wortham IV wasn't legally purchased, wouldn't have been registered even if it was, and the person carrying it wouldn't have had either an FOID card or any so-called "liability" insurance.

And finally, let's remind everyone that the only two legal and registered handguns on the scene were the handguns that provided retired Sgt. Wortham a small measure of vengeance for his murdered son - and most likely, the service revolver is the one Daley didn't want him to ever be able to register upon his retirement.

Let us bury our brother in peace Mayor Daley. Then you can rot in hell for your part in turning this city over to the scum, dregs and non-contributing members of society who are given free rein to kill a man who served his country, wished to serve his city and worked tirelessly to better his community.

Excellent article by John Kass. We need more people like him, to say, no matter how much it hurts, the TRUTH. I am so sick and tired of these scum bags in the City. I work the streets everyday, and you can tell that these pieces of shit are only getting bolder. I really feel that it’s because of the policies set by these, lower than a piece of shit, politicians in this City. One day the gloves will come off. One day our hands will not be tied as they are now. One day the citizens of the City will want their police to do there jobs. We desperately need leadership in this City that’s been lacking for years. J-Fed is a joke. Daley, in my opinion is the lowest piece of dirt that occupies space in this City, only provided to him, by special interest groups, unions, and fake reverends. The loss of this officer is such a tragedy, and Daley, to use it as a platform to advance his unconstitutional band on hand guns goes beyond words. Its amazing the things we encounter on the streets of this City. What’s more amazing is the deplorable display from our leaders. Daley how do you live with yourself? How do you look in the mirror? You are an embarrassment to your family and the citizens of this City. My heart and prayers are with the family. RIP my brother. RIP to the brothers in Aransas

As a supervisor on scene of Officer Wortham's murder, I just want to thank my CPD brethren for their dedication. The professionalism exhibited by officers from 006, 004, 007, 005, 022, TRU, MSF, SWAT and others was amazing.

Detectives from A1 and A2 did an outstanding job. Thanks MW. Same with the Crime Lab. This was especially difficult as those of us on scene knew that our officer was facing incredibly long odds.

Thanks also to the State Police and even the Streets and San worker who blocked the alley.

God Bless the Wortham family. My heart is broken for our loss. Rest in Peace Officer, you will never be forgotten.

i just had the honor of buying a off-duty policeman a beer at the bar.the least i could do.he actually knew this officer personally,i have been very shaken by this..he (along with me) has no respect for the mayor.

"Maybe they'll see the light of day," Daley said. "Maybe one of them will have an incident, and they'll change their mind overnight, going to and from work."

A very restless night for me. I ended up reading Kass. When is someone going to tell the mumbling stumbling little prick to just shut up. This little prick is telling the supreme court to wake up.RIP OFFICE.

Ok daley, you have ruined the CPD with this jagoff Weis, you have made the streets a killing zone for all citizens and now you have insulted the supreme court and suggested and wished that they need to be the victims of a violent crime to see it your way, and you offered to stick a gun in a reporters ass. The day before you and that P.O.S. J-JAG were debating his new salary. ARE YOU FUCKING NUTS? I NEVER VOTED REPUBLICAN BUT I AM NOW.

I was thinking about all those ridiculous studies that are done periodically by some group of college professors. You know the ones who come up with the poor disenfranchised families and their youth---how these people don't learn well because they're hungry, how they are destined to fail because they don't have educational opportunities---those studies. Then their solution is more taxpayer dollars.

I'd like to see a new study. A study that would really accomplish something. I'd like financial forensic interviews on offenders before they are sentenced to find out why they just never managed to turn their life around:

How old are you? Have you ever had a job? Do you receive any government benefits? What kind and for what? Take a drug and alcohol history-frequency, intensity and duration-how many days a week do you drink or do drugs. How many children do you have? Who supports them? How long have you been on welfare? How many people in your family are on welfare? How many generations of your family have been on welfare? How do you supplement your welfare? Who do you live with? Who owns the home you live in and what are their property taxes? How do you pay rent?

I think you get the picture. In other words---how do you manage to survive on a daily basis being a useless, worthless, stupid, piece of shit. I can tell you what the interviewers would find out. And you do too. And then all funding should stop. Once they have to worry about all the shit that we have to worry about they won't have time to be killing off-duty police officers during a motorcycle jacking.

Those is authority have an obligation to lead. It needs to start now. We cannot keep losing the very people who can make a difference.

One of the defining acts of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over and over and expecting different results. You know, like putting your hand into the blades of a moving fan and expecting it to NOT hurt? So it goes with the King of Chicago and the other morons who would have us believe that Chicago's gun ban accomplishes anything other than turning the city into a trout farm for all those "anglers" who like to devour trout.

Scc, I just can't get over how frustrating it is to see this piece of shit Shortshanks use the death of one of ours for a political showcase, but I can't help but step back and realize nothing in going to change! Year after year we lose one or more good coppers to some fucking animal that had no business being on the street let alone carrying a fucking gun. Daley has and always will be the main thorn in the side of our department, but once the savages are caught with these weapons, nothing happens to them! The judges and states attorneys do not receive enough of the credit for fucking up and putting these jagoffs back on the street! Handgun ban or not, the offenders know damn well that getting caught with a gun is no worse than getting caught with a jab of weed for christ sakes! I realize that we can all talk back and forth about what should or could have been done, but until these animals receive actual sentences for UUW, they will continue to carry guns. I like to think I have a little time on the job, and the discussions with fellow coppers always turn to how effective we could be if we were allowed to be the fucking police! But as I get more time on the job I realize that will never happen as long as we are at the mercy of these crooked politicans who are only looking for their next vote. These same politicans who will get their face time at the next coppers funeral we put to rest!! I apoligize for the rant, but it is so disheartening to realize that we are even unable to keep one of our own safe on the street where he grew up because we are always looking over our shoulder for the next lawsuit or afraid of department backlash. Daley take your handgun ban, turn it sideways and shove it up your ass!! We need help asshole!

could all of the posturing on display in recent weeks mean that mcmumbles is going to go for another four in 2011---- four days in a row of 80's forecast beginning sunday with high humidities---- we all know what that means, driving around in a shitbox pool car with 110,000 miles with no air and bouncing from job to job all night long like a ping pong ball--- at least the check is still good twice a month......

RIP Officer! As for jagoff daley,who has an army of bodyguards,for himself and his entire criminal family, and eddie (oily) burke, + that pos stephanie neely the treasurer who is trying to sue mike shields,for exposing her being paid-off all the bodyguards all these assholes have if anyone of these idiots make a dumb statement like daley does everyday, they need to have all CPD bodyguards removed at once and let them see how the real world lives!

He made another comment that was even more outlandish. He was asked about the upcoming decision by SCOTUS concerning the city's gun law. When it was said the decision is probably going to go against the city, shortshanks said he hoped not.

But he continued and expressed a wish that one of the members of SCOTUS would have an incident that would change their minds before the decision is handed down.

He did not say he hoped they would read about an incident or observe an incident or have divine intervention that speaks to their hearts, rather, he wanted them to HAVE an incident.

This little greasy maniac has got to go. To further his agenda, he is not above wishing misfortune upon one, or more, members of SCOTUS.

Well shortshanks, if you do get your wish for a member of SCOTUS to have an incident, I hope it involves that member reaching under their robe for their handgun and they get to smoke the offender that is trying to kill or harm them. That's what I hope, you greasy little fucking lunatic!

Now we know why you refer to your mayor as "the Stuttering Prick". We suspect he flunked both Logic and Ethics in school. Add the hypocrisy of his heavily armed entourage of bodyguards. I would seriously question this bully's sanity.

There will be light at the end of the tunnel when both he and your coward puppet of a police chief disappear.

Excellent column by the Tribune's John Kass.

Our heart goes out to the Wortham family and the fellow officers of young Thomas Wortham, a true American hero. While it can never bring Tom back, we wish that his dad had put all four of the savages in a dirt bed en route to Hell.

I live in Hegewisch; our neighborhood is going to shit, fast. The cops are doing their best, but they aren't given enough men and resources to do the job that needs to be done (since it all gets reallocated to the epic ghetto that surrounds what remains of our our little hold-out enclave).

Instead of letting people have the means to protect themselves- as is the right thing to do- Daley instead chooses to hitch his failed anti-gun rights agenda to the coffin of a recently murdered police officer?

Daley like most other democRATZ sold out to the savages for their votes. I can't wait to vote for anyone but daley in the next election. The democRATZ are tearing down this city and state and country. ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

After an Southwest Side errand, I stopped by Englewood and learned even more about the goodness of young Tom Wortham. Later, when alone, I'm not ashamed to admit it. I cried.

May God give the Wortham family and his fellow officers the strength to carry on.

Daley is an arrogant, self-righteous buffoon, perhaps even delusional. It infuriates me to no end that unlike a man of Tom's courage, a coward will appear at his funeral wearing our uniform with four stars.

The police despise him. Their department is terribly understaffed and overworked. Taxpayers want more cops. But there's no money for additional police because Daley wasted it all, hundreds of millions of dollars year after year after year on deals for his cronies!

This is from the John Kass article. To every policeman who reads this it's not a shock. To every citizen of Chicago, it should be a horrifying eye opener!Where is all the money Mayor Daley? Where are all the police? Just remember if an off duty police officer can get murdered , anyone can! You Mayor Daley have a lot of questions to answer!

Daley's comments regarding putting a gun up someone's rear really reveals his true low-class upbringing and crude nature. This coming from a leader of a world class city. How utterly embarrassing for the citizens of Chicago! Never will he be considered a true gentleman.

Da Mayo has to go! We must replace him with anyone I don't care who it is. We have to get this city moving again in the right direction. Maybe we can go back to having a DEMROCRACY instead of a KINGDOM. I saw a post that maybe Daley is the glue that holds it all together. The only thing that he holds together is the mayo he uses as brill cream. TIME for CHANGE!!!!!

We had not been assigned there for quite sometime since we were covering the projects from Housing being disbanded.

Point is I recollect our Unit recovering over 20 plus guns (both shifts combined) in 2 days while both watches were assigned there. 006 is volatile and like most high crime areas of the city needs to be aggressively policed but with the way the department is now.....you get what you get!

Sorry to say and now that most guys I worked with at that time are scattered all over the city it may and have encountered "pimpy to big" touble for their policing ways...IT IS WHAT IT IS...

Be careful everyone out there 20 plus guns in two days (not all one recovery too) and that was over 10 years ago...I couldn't imagine whats out there now as I have gone to the homeland to protect it.

Good job John Kass for letting everyone know that Daley is a bonehead. Watching him wave a rifle around and blubber and stumble on TV makes me wonder how the hell he keeps getting re-elected. Run him off and give someone else a chance to clean up this city.

I read this ST article online last night and I was furious about Daley's comments at the end for all the reasons outlined by the blog host.

On the first thread of Ofc. Wortham being slain, I almost posted my feelings about this self centered lunatic of a mayor of ours until my better judgement told me to wait for SCC to post a thread on Daleys asinine remarks on gun control.

I felt any mentioning of Daley on the original thread of Ofc. Wortham's killing would be disrespectful to the memory of Ofc. Wortham and to the CPD.

I felt commments on the orig. thread should be for the extended CPD family thus, out of respect, I felt it inappropriate to post there as I am not a cop.

I would like to say here my deepest sympathies go out to the Officers family and brothers and sisters in the CPD. Words cannot express how horrible I feel.

Vis-a-vis gun control, as we all know, Daley is out of his mind! Had Ofc. Wortham's father not been armed, he very lilkey would have been killed comming to the aide of his son with only his fists and the animals would have dissapeared.

If that nut-job Daley was right about his gun control BS, Chicago would be among the safest of cities and it wouldn't be the case that virtually all the guns and spray paint (both outlawed for decades) are in the hands of the animal.

I loath the media for not calling that nut out on that.

Being a cop, either on duty or off, everyday can be the last day of your life simply as a result of being a cop and for that, you are all Heroes.

The hood rats stand fior nothing of value and they produce nothing of value and it's because they are "wired" that way. It's not about opportunity.

Enough is enough. The blood of this officer is on the hands of Daley, the judges, the lawyers and all the politicians catering to the shit heads. All of you have turned this city over to the criminals and you have given them free reign. I am so saddened by the loss of a fellow officer as we all are. Arm the decent citizens so they can have the opportunity to protect themselves.

This wasn't the only off duty attack this week by the way. There was a previous post here on SCC about the TRU officer that was attacked on his way home from work at 3am. We need to be extra vigilant both on and off duty. Carry your firearm with you at all times. Don't take the same route home everyday. Watch your mirrors and make sure no one is following you. Check your driveway and gangway to make sure no one is lurking in the shadows. And then there is all the stuff we need to do while at work, watch the hands, business officer cover officer, call out your stop and let everyone know your location, check your six, and don't be afraid to ask for an assist car. Be careful out there.

"(Daley) only likes the Police when we get killed protecting Chicago.He hates us while we are alive."

--5/21/2010 01:38:00 AM

Boy, if any words should be up on a billboard overlooking a major expressway into town...

Same thing with everyone else; property-tax the hell out of an old lady, and when the hyenas pick her off on the way home, we end up with a big speech dedicating Eileen Delia Park, every politician within range puffing up in pretended outrage for the cameras.

Any mayor who observes an innocent Chicago Police Officer murdered in cold blood, then 2 days later cries out for disarming of innocent citizens living in Chicago War Zone, which Daley himself created, SHOULD BE OUSTED. Get rid of Daley's guns.

When is this city going to take our side and let us start cleaning this mess up without any consequences?

When we band together and vote out that total useless pile of dung for a mayor we have known as Mayor shotshanks, mummbles, 42 short, messy hair.------------------------------keep n mind Chicago technically runs as a weak mayor form of government.

Getting rid of daley won't solve anything. You would just have chaos. You ened to throw the whole bunch out and start over. Sounds easy but everyone thinks they can get something for nothing, or something off someone's else's dime, and they vote for the people who they think can give them what they want.

Mayor Daley, you've shown in your last press conference what a low class arrogant prick you truly are.I will devote a considerable amount of time next year to see to it that you are the FORMER mayor of Chicago.

"greasy little maniac", good one.... No matter what happens to any supreme court justice on his or her way to work,they should disregard their personal feelings and read the second ammendment. That's where the answer is.

The mayor's concern is that the U.S. Supreme Court will overturn the city's handgun ban? His main concern should be about the citizens of chicago who are tired of his corrupt machine and who are planning and organizing to vote against him and overturn his dynasty - kind of how Sadam Hussein was overthrown. When he gets indicted and you mark my words, he will. We'll see who laughs last!

Why is it that people, like Daley and his sheep, think if you control guns that the violence will be reduced? Anyone with half a brain (Daley of course has no brain) could figure out that the scum who commits all this violence do not legally purchase their weapons, do not legally register them, and do not have FOID cards. Hell, they couldn't apply for them with their criminal backround anyway.

This scum has been housed, fed and educated with our tax dollars. All the parent(s) had to do was raise them with love, direction, and morals. The parenting job should have been easier not having to worry about where the food, roof and education was coming from. They got all this for free and all they had to do was vote democratic when they voted. I want my tax money back!

My parents did it without any help. They came from poor, single parent families. They were uneducated and handicap (no ADA at the time to help protect them while seeking employment.)They raised us with love, direction, integrity, and honor. We went to public school and they owned a home. They were proud and worked hard.

You appreciate what you have when you have earned it, not when you have had it given to you all your life.

I don't understand how people live like these scum bums thinking they can take what is not theirs and what they have not earned.

I am sick over the loss of officer Wortham. He did it right. His parents did it right. I can't fathom the loss his father, family and friends are going through. He fought for our freedom in Irag and in Chicago. We must continue his fight against the scum of this city.

God bless officer Wortham, his family, his fellow soldiers and his fellow police officers. You all are in my thoughts and prayers every day.

Anonymous said...ot assign captains to 1st and 3rd watch and problem solved of reassigning administrative lts from the 2nd watch to fill in on 1st and 3rd watches

better yet ,getb rid of captain rank lts are assigned as watch commanders on the busiest watches and do a good job why does cpd need captains

i forgot it's another 100% political appointment

5/21/2010 08:38:00 AM

I remember when they dropped the civil service rank of Captain. They had all LTs. on watches. The problem was, each LT. had his own policy. Depending on what day off group you amd the LTs. had, you felt like it was a totally different watch when they took turns being in charge. That was one of the reasons they brought back the rank of Captain, by political appointment, not test. They being political appointments was the primary reason for the rank. Some are real rank!

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is our mayor. Any wonder why the Olympic commmittee dropped our bid in the first round? This baffoon represents us...you and me. We put him in office nad we have kept him there for 20+ years. Who's the idiot? We are!

An Officer of impecable stature, outspoken bravey, altruistic nature, and good family background is now mayor Mumble's poster child for gun control? That is so shameful and disrespectful I'm hard-pressed for words. Words that truly capture his slimy, serpentine ways.

It's time we sent this spineless, clueless, shameless, corrupted soul packing. Daley, your dynasty of deception is over. I've got a better idea what you can do with that rifle...you could do us all a favor and suck the life out of the barrel.

Daley owes the reporter whom he insulted a public televised apologyimmediately.

Where is the outcry from the Cole Park community against daley's inappropriate ranting in the tragic aftermath of a police officers death?

The poor excuse for a mayor, a civic leader, insulted the entire city with his tirade on public media.

The bell has been rung, it cannot be silenced but an open apology would comfort an affronted population.

Shame on you Daley, your arrogance is out of control.

Your actions and demeanor during a time of crisis highlight the mental weakness you cannot supress. It's the same weakness that failed several attempts to pass the bar exam so long ago. You are just an ignorant man.

Are there many gun laws on the books? Are they added on when a crime is committed with a gun? Are the penalty s automatic and severe enough to even think twice about the crime or do they disappear as part of a plea bargain to number up at the court level.Maybe Daly and the ASAs shouldlook at getting tough with the offenders.The Sheriff was just on the news week ago showing all the empty space at county and he may close some buildings so they have room.

What amazes me is how he is just planning another legal battle that will suck up money we don't have. When SCOTUS rules for the 2nd Amendment to apply here as well, he is planning on requiring "liability insurance". My guess is there will also be prohibitive registration fees.

One of the side effects of civil rights legislation in the 1960s was to declare any form of taxation or other financial infringement on your rights to be illegal. Poll taxes and other impediments were killed. You know he's going to reopen that losing fight.

Thank Goodnees for this site Second City Cop. You don't have to comment on Second City Cop's Comments.You really nailed it this time, and always.Thank You. Old Retired Guy Here.PS: Have a nice day ????

I agree, Let the 007th district bury their fallen. I will come from the NW side to work in englewood for a tour. Don't screw it up like the did for "Alex" (RIP) We can pull it off for the Christmas party. Why can't we do it for one of OUR fallen. Downtown, please don't F- this up, I know you will... but prove me wrong.

What do you all expect? Daley is a buffoon who can't string two sentences together. Why do you think we didn't get the Olympics? World Class City my ass. 90% of it is a reeking, stinking shit hole over run by criminals who fear nothing and nobody. And the Olympic Committee saw him for what he is: a Bridgeport thug.

CAN WE PLEASE have a Great showing AT OUR FELLOW OFFICER'S FUNERAL.....HOW BOUT ALL TAC AND GANG TEAMS REQUIRED TO GO...IN UNIFIORM...EMPTY OUT 35TH AND MICHIGAN...The ACADEMY...PLEASE LET'S NOT BE OUTNUMBERED BY A COMBINATION OF ISP, COUNTY AND SUBURBAN POLICE....I attend these funerals for the family of the fallen officers....Seems to me I see all the same guys and gals...I know we all have things to do...if you have child care issues..bring you kid...miss the side job...but for the sake of P.O. Wortham his family SHOW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"You can rot in hell for your part in turning this city over to the scum, dregs and non-contributing members of society who are given free rein to kill a man who served his country, wished to serve his city and worked tirelessly to better his community"

Excellent summation of hat he has done. This should go on Daley's tombstone. Unfortunately if it did you'd never be able to read it, it would be covered by the pile of feces that will undoubtedly be left, and refreshed, on a regular basis after the stuttering midget is in the ground. I can't wait to to my part if I ever come back there for a visit.

"The police despise him. Their department is terribly understaffed and overworked. Taxpayers want more cops. But there's no money for additional police because Daley wasted it all, hundreds of millions of dollars year after year after year on deals for his cronies."

Ya' Think!

Daley on NBC News tonight, "Cameras are very very important to the police. The cameras are key to the police to solving many crimes."

"Wasn't it Jane Byrne who enacted the gun ban in 1980? daley is to blame to continue it,"

With the help of Mobster/Alderman Fred Roti and Alderman Ed Burke.

-Roti was a made member of the "outfit", -Roti was pivotal in passing the handgun ban. -The handgun ban disarms law abiding citizens. -The "outfit" benefits directly from a disarmed citizenry. -Daley is perpetuating the outfits legacy.-As a former States Attorney, can he credibly deny he knew that Roti=Chicago outfit.-can you spell RICO

I live in Hegewisch; our neighborhood is going to shit, fast. The cops are doing their best,

Move to Norwood park you can pay double the taxes alone with an additional 150 thousand for the same house. However half the block is city workers. we can take walks in the evening the area is clean because our neighbors clean the streets- alleys - playlots- parks.. Your welcome to come however bring money.

didnt shitcago just have a gun turn in day ? where 1000s of guns were turned in ??dont they have a handgun ban ??how could this happen ???Daley should be impeached !threatening a reporter with a rifle ? he has finally lost it

When he was called on his "up your butt" remarks and was asked if he regretted saying that, Crime King Shortshanks said, "sure, I'll be sorry... I'm not going to play the I'm sorry game..."

What an ASS!What an ASSHOLE!

This sorry-assed, half-a-muthafuckah has NEVER had a real care or concern in his life! Every misstep, fuck-up, oops and mistake of his was cleaned up/paid off/made to disappear.

We will laugh our asses off when it comes out in the end that the sheeple of Chicago have elected and re-elected a drooling, tongue chewing, depends soiling, stuttering, stalinist moon-bat as mayor.

He makes Kim Jong Il look like a piker. Dear Leader indeed.

The local media has been implicated time and again for aiding and abetting Crime King Shortshanks.

The entire northern third of Illinois would be reduced to a fuckin' desert chopping down enough trees to build a scaffold large enough to accommodate a group dangle.

The media cried like bitches to have and release the names of Police Officers, most with unfounded, horseshit beefs in the name of "the public has a right to know" yet they blithely ignore a treasure trove of fuckery by Crime King exposed on this blog on a daily basis!

Damned hypocrites!

Vote all incumbents out!

Destroy any and all political influence/interference in CPD.

Ruin those who cause, act in furtherance and benefit from political influence/interference in CPD.

This mayor is a buffoon. His remarks about placing a gun up someone's ass is out of line. He is an arrogant jackass who has no public speaking skills whatsoever. His remarks are pathetic and I am embarassed that he is our mayor.

If EVERY officer was incensed at shortshanks using the death o a true Hero for his gain, then each household should make sure that EVERYONE that can vote in their respective households votes AGAISNT every democratic incumbent in office.

The Courts kill cops by letting felons out of prison early.Of police killed in the line of duty

70% are killed by criminals with prior arrest records

53% of these criminals have prior convictions

22% are on probation when the officer is killed

Chicago - Police sources identified the suspect who was killed in the attack on off-duty Chicago police Officer Thomas Wortham IV as Brian Floyd, a 20-year-old Southwest Side man with a minor criminal record.

Court records show Floyd pleaded guilty 2007 to a misdemeanor charge of unlawful use of a weapon and was sentenced to two years of probation by Judge John Wasilewksi. Floyd initially had been charged with a felony.

He violated his probation in 2008 and was committed to the Cook County Sheriff’s Alternative Work Program, which he completed successfully, records show.

Floyd had been arrested on July 12, 2007, by police responding to a call about people drinking in public in the 4300 block of South Lamon, in the Archer Heights neighborhood just north of Midway Airport, records show.

As officers approached, he tossed a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver to the ground and kicked an officer who tried to arrest him, the records show.

Why was this scumbag not incarcerated for a long time.The Bleeding heart liberals the Democratic Machine, the states attorney and the Judge are to blame.

Forget the stupid Daley approach of making handguns illegal. It hasn't worked and doesn't prevent violence. What needs to happen is that crappy Judges who give probation for UUW offenses for criminals have to be held accountable. The MCC charge punishes normal employed citizens and shitheads equally. What this city needs is real sentences for Agg. UUW and UUW by Felon. Until and the liberal judges change and sentence properly these gun offenses don't mean shit. Any judge who gives Felony probation for Agg. UUW or UUW by Felon needs to be exposed! People are getting killed because of these asshole judges.

If Daley is so fucking gung ho on his stupid gun laws, why is it when these useless, welfare-sucking, Section 8 rats use a gun or get caught with a gun they get a slap on the wrist in the courts via the judges, SA's with probation, nolle prosse, etc? Huh? Why? Because it's all bullshit that's why.

Daley gets a hard on having laws in his little kingdom that go against the constitution and the rest of the country. It's all about him. It's not about safety. Or decent people being able to defend themselves.

When is Daley going to give up HIS guns and police protection? Why does he need them? Why is he protected and the taxpayers, who fund all his criminal activities, can't have protection.

FUCK THAT FAT BASTARD. It's time for him to get voted out. All of them.

Some validity, but the real political hacks and useless position IS the administrative Lt. We never had one until a few years back. A total waste!

5/21/2010 10:15:00 AM**********************************************************************No validity, you know not what you are talking about, you must be someone from the mayors office!You should think about it for a few minutes maybe you will see the light, but probably not or you wouldn't post something so inane.

Don't leave out the Alderman. They do not lobby for citizens in their wards to be able to protect themselves yet they feel it necessary to be armed. I do not thinks weapons are the answer however if they are banned, this will only be for those who follow the law. Those that don't will still have guns so until you can fix sentencing for those that break the law with handguns, then all citizens must be allowed to carry firearms for their own protection. Alderman should be held accountable for not providing enough programs for the wayward youth in their wards. They already get the money from us taxpayer. DO SOMETHING with it that's truly constructive or stop wasting a seat.

Your little Hegewisch enclave went to shit years ago. Years ago, I broke up a party of over 100 drunken teens that had spilled out onto the streets from a home in Hegewisch. Had to bring in some of the teens who refused to pour out their drinks and disperse. You wouldn't believe how many coppers showed up at the 004th District demanding to obtain a CR because their drunken little darlings had been hauled into the station and cited for underage drinking. I was glad the WC on duty at the time had some balls and told those coppers to STFU and leave. There are quite a few characters out there in Hegewisch who are caught up in gun running, drug dealing back and forth across the border with Hammond, Whiting and Burnham IL., and some of them are kids of cops.Whether you live far out southeast, or Norwood Pk., you can't escape the crap that's out there. All you can do is keep your eyes peeled, and report what you see that can be changed by (hopefully) aggressive enforcement.

As a civilian I would like start petitions to remove J- Fed from holding the position of CPD Superintendent, but I'm afraid that majority of citizen would not sign it, saying that he is doing a great job, just like in the tonight's FOX news...some citizens defending JACK ASS Daley, indicating that he is doing a good job.Are these people really DUMB or just plain STUPID!

Some validity, but the real political hacks and useless position IS the administrative Lt. We never had one until a few years back. A total waste!

5/21/2010 10:15:00 AM**********************************************************************No validity, you know not what you are talking about, you must be someone from the mayors office!You should think about it for a few minutes maybe you will see the light, but probably not or you wouldn't post something so inane.

Maybe if the public COULD arm themselves, the could just take pop shots at those out slinging dope. They wouldn't have to be afraid of them anymore. And, if the gangs started heading towards that person's house, they could just corral them and take care of them. Everyone can enjoy their block again.

Whoever runs against this asshole should print and mass distribute bumper stickers "Daley/Wrong for Chicago". He cannot conceptualize that we lawbiding private citizenscan be the difference between criminals fearing us rather than we fearing them. It has been proven in all states but this one and Wisconsin, the only two in the nation without some sort of private citizen carry law. The police have nothing to fear with law abiding citizens trained AND legally carrying firearms. You police have always had to fear the citizens illeagally carrying firearms and that is not going to change. A concealed carry law will be a force equalizer. I am sick and tired of decent people being preyed upon by the indecent people of this city. Its time that the indecent people suffer the consequence of their indecent actions. Tom's father brought that point home. He and his son are my heros and I will pray tomorrow and again for the Wortham family. The Worthams paid a terrible price to make their city a better place to live. And I will tell you Daley has done nothing to make this city a better place after two decades.

Unfortunately we will see the parade of politicians and our no good superintendent and all the exempts from the police and fire department taking up the front rows of the church and weis and daley standing up to speak as if anyone gave a fuck about what they say.

I have written instructions on what I want if the worst would happen and I go out line of duty.

No weis and no daley and no ed burke. They stand outside, hopefully in rain. No white shirt sits at all, only family, friends and blue shirts.

I went to a co workers line of duty funeral and had to sit through the humiliation of daley and blago and weis all get front row seats and earlier I saw the sickening sight of ed burke walking through rows of police wearing his phony fucking alderman's badge around his neck on a chain. fucking phony cock sucker burke.
